Unreal Tournament 3

If you're a long-time PC gamer, the Unreal Tournament franchise should need no introduction. UT's fast paced action and over the top weapons have been popular for as long as Epic has been making the games. For these tests, we used the latest addition to the franchise, Unreal Tournament 3. The game doesn't have a built-in benchmarking tool, however, so we enlisted the help of FRAPS here. These tests were run at resolutions of 1,280 x 1,024 and 1,680 x 1,050 with no anti-aliasing or anisotropic filtering enabled, but with the UT3's in game graphical options set to their maximum values, with color correction enabled.

The results from our custom Unreal Tournament 3 benchmark somewhat mirror what we saw with Half Life 2: Episode 2. In this test, the Radeon HD 4670 was once again able to outpace even the Radeon HD 3850. However, this time around, the 9600 GSO and HD 4670 were on equal footing, with a slight edge going to the GSO at both resolutions.
